Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an Orthodontist, who has typically completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school.
Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patient’s smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medical necessity, but for cosmetic reasons as well.
Whether it’s traditional braces or custom made removable appliances, orthodontics can help you have the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve been waiting for!

*Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that don’t fit together correctly. Malocclusions not only affect the teeth, but also the appearance of the face. Most malocclusions are inherited; however some are due to acquired habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. The spacing left from an adult tooth being extracted or an early loss of a baby tooth can also contribute to a malocclusion.

Dr. Grigoratos is the BEST orthodontist I've ever been to. She is extremely patient and has the most pleasant demeanor. I'm doing my Invisalign with her and she took extreme care to make sure the outcome is exactly what I was looking for fixing a bunch of issues for me. Almost no wait time. You will leave her office smiling before she even fixes your teeth. I've never had such a great experience that I came on yelp to leave a good review. She deserves 10 out of 5 stars! Go to Dr. G you will NOT be disappointed!

Dr. Mary is a very patient and gentle orthodontist. My daughter got braces last week and everything went so smoothly. My son who is 8 and afraid of everything; she was able worked around his fear and made him very comfortable and got him to do x-rays, molds and pics in one appt for his expander. She is very knowledgeable and a perfectionist, so I can't wait to see the end results. I highly recommend this doctor. She tells you exactly what she is doing as she's working.
